Every couple of days I get the message that I am low on storage space. It keeps me from returning text messages etc. I clear the cache on the system, and it still doesn't help. I have 2 games and 2 apps that I have uploaded, everything else is what came with the phone. It is starting to make me mad.... Mad enough to toss it out the window like my blackberry... Any help would be appreciated, sense I am stuck with it until I can upgrade. Which is sad because I loved my other LG...

Okay both of those apps are large. Your phone will run much better if you can keep your internal storage at 30 MB or higher. If you are getting message about low memory, you are likely running at 15MB or lower. Phones like the LG Ally need a regular maintenance of clearing the cache for your applications. Depending on your usage, your should schedule this about every week or two.

Open the applications and run the backup function. Your information will be saved to the SD card. You can adjust your settings for the application by pressing the menu button.

Once you have successfully backed up the SMS messages and call logs, go to Settings > applications > manage applications > all tab > scroll down to dialer storage > select it > press the clear data button.

Optional reboot the phone to clear out any additional data.

Now you can open the Backup application and use the restore function to get back your text messages and call logs. When you restore the information, it will actually take up less space then it did before.

The main problem I have will all of these memory management 'solutions' is that they ARE NOT solutions.

They are workarounds to poor design by LG and bad memory management by the app developers.

I got this phone when it first came out and none of these memory problems had been seen before. I would not recommend this phone to anyone now, nor would I have chosen it had I know of these issues before. I will trade in this phone on my account the very second I can do so without an outrageous penalty being charged by Verizon.

Most general users of these devices are not technically skilled in gizmo problem solving and should not be expected to have to follow these rediculous steps just to have a usable smartphone.

Verizon should really implement a satisfaction guarantee program for phones that turn out to be LEMONS. Especially if they want to keep customers from YELLING at them on the customer support phonelines, forums, and stores. And more importantly keeping customers from leaving.

Just my 2 cents, for what it is worth. I'll step off my soapbox now.

And I'd be completely amazed if someone at Verizon actually reads this and takes positive, constructive action.
